2005 Annual Meeting

This is a very special event for SDAS to interact with students from USD in the Anthropology Department and to share your experiences with the next phase of professionals to take to the field. It is an important part of our mission to share and educate the public, and I see no better way of enhancing the future of archaeology than to acquaint students with the members of the South Dakota Archaeological Society.
